Say a Prayer!

"An Ancient Prayer"
Give me good digestion, Lord,
And also something to digest. 
Give me a healthy body, Lord,
With sense to keep it at its best.
Give me a healthy mind, O Lord,
To keep the good and pure in sight,
Which seeing wrong is not appalled
But finds a way to set it right.
 
Give me a mind that is not bored,
That does not whimper, whine or sigh.
Don’t let me worry over-much
About that fussy thing called ”I”.
Give me a sense of humour, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some happiness from life
And pass it on to other folk.
